Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X5S
The AirTAC MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X5S is a genuine MD multi-mount cylinder (single acting, pull type), 10 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 9.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact.

About the Airtac MTD Multi-position Locking Cylinder MTD10X5S
The AirTAC MTD series multi-mount cylinder is a compact square-body actuator that can be fixed from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side to save space in dense machine layouts. This MTD10X5S is a single-acting, pull-type cylinder with a 10 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke, suited to short, positive movements such as part ejection or light clamping where one powered stroke is all the job needs. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), covers 50-500 mm/s, and cushions with a bumper rather than an air cushion.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the standard MD multi-mount family (the MK family is the no-rotating version with a plate that stops the rod turning). The trailing S means this model is supplied with a magnet, so magnetic switches in the slots around the body can detect piston position. Guide precision is high and no added lubricant is required. Dimensions and exact pull-side force figures are per stroke - we confirm them from the datasheet on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MD/MK multi-mount data. The front cover and piston are short, so avoid an over-long stroke. An optional high-temperature seal material extends the range to 0 to 150 C. Overall dimensions vary per stroke and allowable side-load is published as curves — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
Bore sets the available force: at 0.5 MPa this 10 mm bore delivers useful single-acting pull-side force - confirm the exact figure from the datasheet, since the pull side is rated lower than the push side. Choose MD for standard multi-mount duty or MK if the rod must not rotate; this model is standard MD. Acting options are double acting, single-acting push, single-acting pull (this SKU), double rod, or adjustable stroke with a 10/20/30 mm added range. Single-acting strokes run up to 20 mm, so 5 mm fits the short-cover design well. The trailing S adds a magnet for position sensing - drop it if you do not need switch feedback. Ports are M5x0.8 with PT threads as standard; a G-thread version is available.
Applications
Small-parts clamping with sensing
A 10 mm bore pull-type cylinder grips small connectors in a fixture with a 5 mm working move; the built-in magnet lets a switch confirm the part is clamped before the next step.
Mini-conveyor stopper
Mounted beside a small conveyor, the 5 mm stroke lifts or drops a stopper tab to hold or release single parts; cylinders fix from six directions and sit side by side along the line.
Jig positioning
In an assembly jig the short stroke seats a workpiece against a hard stop before fastening, and the magnet allows position detection without external sensors on the body.
FAQ
What does the S at the end of MTD10X5S mean?
The trailing S means the cylinder is supplied with a magnet in the piston, so magnetic switches sitting in the slots around the square body can detect end positions. Without the S the body still has the switch slots, but no magnet, so position sensing would not work. The magnet is an option on this series, never a given.
Can I mount this cylinder in any orientation?
Yes - the square body fixes from six directions: front, back, left, right, top and bottom, and cylinders can sit side by side to save space. Keep the stroke modest, since the covers are deliberately short on single-acting models; exact dimensions, side-load limits and pull-side force come from the datasheet, which we supply on request.
